To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OSCAR BBNLER, a subject of the Emperor of Germany,and a resident of Eutritzsch-Leipsic, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Petroleum-Motors, the cylinders and. pistons of which rotate round a stationary crank, (for which I have obtained a patent in Germany, No. 68,190, bearing date July 5, 1892; in France, No. 223,855, bearing date August 22, 1892; in Belgium, No. 101,207, bearing date September 1, 1892; in Italy, Reg. Gen. 26, No. 22,532, Reg. Att. 64, No. 44, bearing date August 27, 1892; in Spain, No. 13,687, bearing date August 23, 1892; in Great Britain, No. 16,380, bearing date September 13, 1892; in Switzerland, No. 5,452, bearing date August 19, 1892; in New South Wales, No. 4,052, bearing date October 19, 1892, and in Victoria, No. 10,047, bearing date October 15, 1892,) of which the following is a specification.

The object of the present invention is a petroleum motor the cylinder and piston of which rotate round va stationary crank, as illustrated by the inclosed drawings.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a transverse section of the gasifying contrivance. Fig. 3 is the longitudinal section of a somewhat modified construction of the gasifying contrivance and Fig. 4 is partly the view and partly the section of themotor.

The crank n, on which the body Z containing the cylinder turns, is rigidly connected with the frame le. i The gas-mixture is conveyed to the cylinders through the passages g in the body Z, these passages g turning before the passages g'of the gasifying-contrivance. The gasification is effected when the valve h is opened, the latter being lifted at the beginning ofthe suction-period, and drawing in the air through the tube e and the air catchingbasin f. In Figs. 1 and 2 the sucked air-current meets at b with some petroleum which is pressed in through the tube a, and sprays it through the nozzle cinto the gasificator d. Through opening the valve h, the petroleum converted into gas is drawn with the air into the passage g, Vand from there into passage g whereupon it enters the cylinder. In the latter it is ignited at the compression, by an igniting tube or by some other means of ignition.

With the construction illustrated by Fig. 3, when the air is sucked in consequence of the opening of the valveh some petroleum is spurted through the bent tube a. into the gasicatord. The burned gases escape through the valve i and the passage m into the space o of the body Z which acts as a sound-catcher.

`The moisture and graphite particles carried along by the by-gases, serve to grease the parts inclosed by this sound catcher, and. working on each other. The by-gases then escape through the hollow arm of the crank n. It is evident, that as in all rotating motors, also the cylinders may be stationary and the crank may rotate.

What I claim is- 1. In a petroleum motor the cylinders and pistons ofV which rotate round a stationary crank the combination of the passages g of a gasifying contrivance with the passages g of the body Z, the crank fn rigidly united with the frame k, the inlet valve h, the outlet valvee and the exhaust passage m vas and for the purl pose specified.

2. In a petroleum motor, the cylinders and pistons of which rotate round a stationary crank the combination of the hollow body Z constituting the soundv catcher o, the outlet passage m and the hollow trunnion of crank 'n as and for the purpose set forth.
